1
Cook the Shrimp
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the shrimp and cook for about 2-3 minutes or until they turn pink and opaque. Remove from heat and immediately transfer them to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
2
Prepare the Toum
In a food processor, combine garlic and salt. Pulse until finely minced. Add the egg white and lemon juice, and blend until smooth. With the processor running, slowly drizzle in the vegetable oil until the mixture emulsifies and thickens. Adjust seasoning with more salt if needed.
3
Serve
Drain the shrimp and arrange them on a platter over ice. Serve with the toum and lemon wedges on the side.
